Comments Thread For: Joshua To Team Wilder: Give Me $50 Million - I'll Sign Tomorrow!

[kafkod]

I have been in boxing long enough not to jump on bandwagons, some american posters on here jumped the gun in regards to this fight months ago. I don't mind supporting your own american boxers but you also have to use your brains to anaylse things. Wilder talks a lot but facts doesn't back up his talking. Its plain and simple if this fight can generate $100m like a lot of these accountants claimed then its pretty much sorted out here. If this is indeed true from AJ then make him the 50% offer from that amount, All Wilder accountants need now is to come up with that sum, am sure Vegas would put that money up.

You can't fault AJ's logic here!


The $12million flat fee offer to Wilder makes sense now. Hearn was thinking one step ahead of Wilder and his brainless team. He set a trap for them and they walked right into it!

There will be no more talk of $100million fights from them after this!

If Anthony Joshua doesn't want the fight then he should just come out and say so.

Stop using ridiculous money offers to duck Deontay Wilder.

**** getting interesting now

Maybe he's looked at and listened to the tide of utter ***** that. Wilder's come out with over the past couple of years, the cowardly insinuations of PED use backed up by nothing but innuendo, the constant badmouthing and downgrading of his, superior achievements and greater willingness to embrace risk etc and thought **** him.

I've worked hard to get to this position. I've overpaid guys again and again. Now I'm offering this guy a chance I never got. A chance to make history with one fight. A chance to become undisputed despite a career of cherry picking. A chance to be part of boxing history and hold 5 belts and go on to make massive earnings from them if successful.

I'm offering him this but he also wants to take a big slice of the money I generate. No, he can **** right off with that. I'll offer him more money than he's ever been paid before but I'm not going to reward him for talking trash about me or for sitting on that WBC belt fighting guys Haymon found in the back of a dumpster for 3 years.

I know that's what I'd be thinking if I were the 4 belt holding unified heavyweight champion of the world and Wilder was talking that rubbish about me anyway .

I’m sure the wilder nut huggers will find a way to dispute this as well.

Weren't you one of those claiming this would do big numbers in America.

In this offer:

Joshua keeps the first 50 mil
Wilder keeps anything after 50 to 100
They split anything over 100 50/50


This should be great for Wilder if the fight does as well as the idiots claim. What's wrong, you not confident in you prediction now?

Wilder should just offer the 50 million.

What's the problem if it's a 100million fight?

I claimed the fight would make the most money in Las Vegas.

But I never claimed it was a $100 million fight. Anthony Joshua isn't Floyd Mayweather.

Here's my problem with Joshua and many of the UK posters here.

It's obvious that the projections for revenue for this fight have a wide range, yet when money is spoken of, it appears that Team Joshua feels that if the fight does well, their side should be the only side to benefit. With the $12.5M flat fee, Team Wilder only benefits if the fight does only as well as the Joshua Parker fight.

It just seems to me like Team Joshua and fans recognize that this is a 50-50 fight that Joshua has real chance at losing and the mindset is, if he's gonna lose, let him lose making a boat load of money. One poster said, Joshua is starting to sound like Mayweather. I agree and that is the one thing I didn't like about Mayweather as a fighter.

A percentage split solves ALL. It ensures Joshua gets compensated based on his tremendous following in the UK and recognizes that the U.S. may show up strong to see if they'll get to have a undisputed champion again.

I just can't seem to understand why these UK posters and some American posters seem to agree and support EVERY statement or action by Team Joshua and Team Wilder respectively. Everybody in boxing knows that flat fees are bogus for ppv fights. Everybody in boxing knows that at some point in time calling a man scared gets played and hurts more than it helps.

UK fans, stop trying to use Wilder's past purses to support the bogus flat fee offer. If Joshua Wilder wasn't a big fight that could make a huge amount of money, Hearn wouldn't have been talking about it for the last year. It's like GGG and BJS. Sure GGG wants to unify, but was K2 talking about getting that WBO belt or were they focused on the belt that would garner the highest purse. Hearn has believed that fighting Wilder for the WBC brings the biggest purse for a while.

Wilder fanatics, booooommmmmmbbbbbbsquaaaaaaad!!!!! J/k Now that I have your attention, not everything is an indication of a duck. Wilder has got to play this one smart. Be patient, and let this thing play out.

Keyboard racists, stay classy, or eat a d*ck. If you're upset that there is a large minimally educated black man getting paid millions, do what your cousin brother does, kick your dog, drink your beer, and make another nephew son.

This is just to shut up the people claiming it's a massive fight in America. Joshua and everyone with an ounce of common sense knows there's nowhere near 100 mil to split. This isn't serious.
